Klievink, B. (author), Janssen, M. (author)Joining up remains a high priority on the e-government agenda and requires extensive transformation. Stage models are predictable patterns which exist in the growth of organizations and unfold as discrete time periods that result in discontinuity and can help e-government development towards joined-up government. Although stage models may be...journal article 2009

Bharosa, N. (author), Lee, J. (author), Janssen, M. (author)Although various scholars have researched issues regarding disaster management, few have studied the sharing and coordinating of information during disasters. Not much empirical data is available in this field and there is sparse insight into the factors that may impede or facilitate information sharing and coordination among stakeholders. In...journal article 2009

Rueda Torres, J.L. (author), Gonzalez-Longatt, F. (author)This paper introduces an approach based on the Swarm Variant of the Mean-Variance Mapping Optimization (MVMO-S) to solve the multi-scenario formulation of the optimal placement and coordinated tuning of power system supplementary damping controllers (POCDCs). The effectiveness of the approach is evaluated based on the classical IEEE 39-bus (New...journal article 2015

Platzek, F.W. (author), Stelling, G.S. (author), Jankowski, J.A. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author)Three-dimensional hydrodynamic z-layer models, which are used for simulating the flow in rivers, estuaries, and oceans, suffer from an inaccurate and often discontinuous bottom shear stress representation, due to the staircase bottom. We analyze the governing equations and clearly show the cause of the inaccuracies. Based on the analysis, we...journal article 2014

Visser, P.N.A.M. (author), Sneeuw, N. (author), Gerlach, C. (author)A fast iterative method for gravity field determination from low Earth satellite orbit coordinates has been developed and implemented successfully. The method is based on energy conservation and avoids problems related to orbit dynamics and initial state. In addition, the particular geometry of a repeat orbit is exploited by using a very...journal article 2003

Groenleer, M.L.P. (author), Mijs, A. (author), Ten Heuvelhof, E.F. (author), Meeuwen, B. (author), Van der Puil, J. (author)A key challenge that European decision-makers struggle with today is regulating and governing the European financial and economic system in a way that is both effective and legitimate. To help address this challenge, this paper asks why regulatory gaps occurred and European governance has been weak, and how these gaps and weaknesses allowed...journal article 2014

Corman, F. (author), D'Ariano, A. (author), Pacciarelli, D. (author), Pranzo, M. (author)Railway dispatchers are in charge of rescheduling trains during operations in order to limit propagation of disturbances occurring in real-time. To help the dispatchers in such task, an advanced decision support system, ROMA (Railway traffic Optimization by Means of Alternative graphs), has been recently implemented to optimize railway traffic...journal article 2010

Guo, Baocheng (author), Du, Yunlu (author), Djelloul KHEDDA, Zakarya (author), Peng, Fei (author), Dong, J. (author), Huang, Yunkai (author), Frederic, Dubas (author), Boughrara, Kamel (author)In this article, we propose a novel nonlinear semianalytical model (AM) for the magnetic field calculation of electric machines. The nonlinear properties and local saturation effect of the iron part are taken into consideration in Cartesian coordinates, which is the main contribution of the proposed model. Thus, high accuracy of...journal article 2022

Fu, J. (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Natural disasters pose a tremendous risk to the reliability of distribution networks. In this paper, a novel real-time UAV routing strategy for coordination between monitoring and inspection for post-disaster restoration in distribution networks is proposed. With our proposed real-time UAV routing strategy, damages can be inspected by UAVs...journal article 2022

Li, Bo (author), Ouyang, Hao (author), Wang, T. (author), Dong, Tian (author)Exploring the influence of settlement patterns on the landscape fragmentation in woodlands and biological reserves is key to achieving ecologically sustainable development. In this research, we chose the Nanshan National Park in Hunan Province, China, as a case study, to explore the influence mechanisms. First, we identified the biological...journal article 2023

Latif, Aadil (author), Gawlik, Wolfgang (author), Palensky, P. (author)With increasing photovoltaic (PV) penetration in low voltage networks (LVNs), voltage regulation is a challenge. Active power curtailment (APC) is one possible solution for mitigating over voltages resulting from active power injection in LVNs. There is an inherent unfairness in the APC scheme. When generation is high and consumption is low, the...journal article 2016

Gkiotsalitis, Konstantinos (author), Eikenbroek, Oskar A.L. (author), Cats, O. (author)Travel time and demand disturbances lead to unreliable bus operations and missed passenger transfers. This study formulates the multi-line synchronization problem as a robust min(i)max problem that considers the fluctuations of the travel and dwell times of bus trips. Given the infeasibility of the multi-line synchronization problem in...journal article 2020

(author)The design and development of an offshore port terminal is a complex task that involves distinctive design and decision challenges. In this paper, we propose the implementation of a floating, modular, platform that can act as an additional terminal of a port, with the aim of expanding its current container handling capacity. To this end, we...journal article 2020

Sun, D. (author), Jamshidnejad, A. (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author)Traffic control is essential to reduce congestion in both urban and freeway traffic networks. These control measures include ramp metering and variable speed limits for freeways, and traffic signal control for urban traffic. However, current traffic control methods are either too simple to respond to complex traffic environment, or too...journal article 2023

Ihsan, A.F. (author), van Horssen, W.T. (author), Tuwankotta, J.M. (author)In this paper, the vibrations of a string are considered. At one end of the string, a smooth obstacle is placed and the other end of the string is attached to a fixed point. The contact between the string and the obstacle varies in time, and leads to a linear, moving boundary value problem for the string vibrations. By applying a boundary...journal article 2024
